COMMUNICATION WITH YAR’ADUA IN SAUDI ARABIA : How Goodluck Jonathan misled Nigerians, by Lai Mohammed
When you look at what has been happening since November 23 last year, how would you appraise the events?

Yar’Adua’s inaccessibility confirms he can’t perform — Richard Akinjide (part 2)
Last week, we brought you the first part of this interview. This week, Chief Richard Osuolale Abimbola Akinjide, speaks on the implications of the return of President Umaru Yar’Adua to the country after 93 days and says his return is of no effect.

How the colonial masters empowered the North — Chief Mbazulike Amechi
Getting to the country home of Chief Mbazulike Amechi in Ukpor Nnewi, was no easy task, even in a Jeep. But when we eventually got there on Wednesday, February 3rd 2010, we met a man of 80 plus a couple of months still standing tall, still handsome and still very sharp in the mind and memory. Our mission was to encounter him in this interview to get a clearer picture of some historical issues surrounding the early political life of Nigeria before it degenerated to the sorry state in which we find ourselves. When I was through with him, he autographed three of his books which I have since found to be invaluable for the better understanding of Nigeria’s early beginnings. It is my pleasure to present to you, Chief Amechi, A PLEASURABLE READ.
